How to Obtain an Miami, FL Business License

Miami publishes official Business Tax Receipt (BTR) licensing steps, including certificate-of-use prerequisites for many uses, MiamiBiz application workflows, and Miami-Dade County local business tax receipt requirements for businesses operating within the City of Miami.

If you are transacting business in Miami, FL, you may be subject to city-level and county-level licensing requirements beyond the baseline state requirements. Local governments independently establish their own licensing scopes, fee schedules, exemptions, and compliance deadlines.

Consequences of missed local licensing requirements vary by jurisdiction and circumstance. Confirm current obligations, deadlines, fees, and potential consequences directly with the issuing agency.
